| just saw this one -- and <gah> is about all i can say --
the Spike/Buffy follow-up was good - (the stuff at the beginning) - and their convo while looking for Rack's was pretty interesting (did Marti Noxon have help writing that? b/c she doesn't do so well writing Spike stuff) --
but - the Willow thing? 2 words - Lame-Much? (to snag a 'Sunny-phrase')
Marti Noxon needs to learn the value of metaphor - which is what, i believe, Willow's *addiction* was supposed to be - not a flat out - *smack the audience in the face or they won't get it* addiction -
i think that 99.9999% of the fans would have understood if there had been a more subtle approach to it all --
Generally, i watch the episodes 2x's - this one wasn't worth it, except to fast-forward through to the stuff w/ Spike and Buffy - b/c at least THAT was interesting -- "...I might bite you."
although, i think that Rack's place was only 'magically' hidden so that Buffy would need Spike to help her find it - which she ended up not needed Spike for anyway b/c Willow and Dawn weren't there anymore --
but honestly - this looked like a bad DARE (kiddie drug program in the US) video to me --- |
